Chapter 46
46: Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded: Our achievements have been blocked by Lao Jiu! 【More than 200 flowers will be added! 】
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unbelievable.
Dip a little with your finger and put it in your mouth. Zhu Yuanzhang's face brightened!
Is this refined salt too pure?
How did Lao Jiu come up with this?
"What exactly is going on? Be specific?"
Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer keep calm and asked Jiang Wei in a hurry.
Jiang Wei briefly explained the situation of refined salt in the northwest, especially when he heard that Jiang Wei said that this kind of refined salt had begun to flow in in large quantities. After the public, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely dumbfounded!
This level of refined salt was flowing into the public in large quantities!
"To be more specific, how much is this large amount?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again
"It's hard to say, but judging from the current situation, at least tens of thousands of stones of refined salt have flowed into the public! And according to rumors, the quantity will only increase, and the price will be even cheaper!"
"It is said that this grade of refined salt only costs 30 cents per dou from Hanzhong Mansion, and the selling price is around 100 cents per dou!"
Jiang Wei quickly explained.
"Tens of thousands of stones? Will there be more and more?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly widened!
Good guy, he originally had this national luck system, and he has been saving the national luck value recently, waiting to exchange it for the salt-making technique.
With this salt-making technique, the development of Ming Dynasty will take a leap. Improvement!
The result is good now, the first pot of gold was earned directly by Lao Jiu!
"Father, there is a letter from Ninth Brother!"
At this moment, Prince Zhu Biao suddenly and excitedly entered Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study with a letter.
"Lao Jiu’s letter? Come and take a look! Refined salt! Lao Jiu must be talking about refined salt!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression immediately became excited, and he stepped forward and snatched the letter from Zhu Biao's hand!
"Does your father also know?"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but look surprised!
The content of the letter sent by Zhu Yue was actually very simple. It was just that he had mastered the top technology of making refined salt, and would supply the imperial court with 10,000 stones of refined salt every month. The imperial court stabilized the salt market in Jiangnan and attracted a large number of salt merchants in the Jiangnan area!
Zhu Biao was naturally overjoyed when he saw the news, and immediately came to Zhu
Yuanzhang with this letter! After writing the letter, the expression on his face became even more speechless!
This made Zhu Yuanzhang completely confused!
Was all the national fortune he had saved been in vain? Did Lao Jiu do it himself? Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know whether to be happy or cry!
The main reason is that Zhu Yue is his son, and with this salt-making technology, Zhu Yue can benefit the people!
Benefiting the People But what Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought was that it would be recorded in the history books in the future that it was Zhu Yuanzhang who invented a more advanced salt-making technology.
This can be regarded as an achievement that will leave a name in history.
...result!
He was cut off by Lao Jiu!
And can he blame Lao Jiu?
You know, the imperial army in the northwest frontier is still supported by Lao Jiu. Why is it that he finds fault?
When Lao Jiu does things, he really can’t find any fault at all....
Because Lao Jiu has done such a good job, the fiefdom he manages is also tight and orderly, and the border defense work is also in place!
According to the process, Zhu Yuanzhang still needs to reward Lao Jiu....
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very depressed. Originally, the art of making salt, a thing that has left a name in history, was his, Zhu Yuanzhang's....
"Father, do you think everything Lao Jiu said in this letter is true?"
"It's a pity that the ten thousand stones of refined salt are still on the way, otherwise……"
Zhu Biao was still talking excitedly.
"Do you want the refined salt from Laojiu? Well, there it is on the table!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless when he heard this, and licked his lips towards his dragon bookcase.
Zhu Biao was stunned when he heard the words. When he saw clearly the bag of salt on the dragon bookcase, his eyes also lit up.
He hurriedly dipped his fingers in it A little bit, then put it in your mouth and taste it, good guy……
"Doesn’t this taste too stupid? This is several grades better than the batch of refined salt that Jiu Di made before! This kind of high-quality refined salt was produced by Ninth Brother, which is amazing!"
"Erchen was worried just now that Ninth Brother was exaggerating!"
Zhu Biao's tone became even more excited!
"Let's just say that Lao Jiu is talented and intelligent. Look at how well Hanzhong has been managed by him. The people's livelihood is prosperous. Now he has invented a more advanced salt-making technology to benefit the people! As expected of our old Zhu family!"
"Father, we have to think about how to reward Lao Jiu!"
Zhu Biao became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, it sounded like he was refusing to open the pot!
Zhu Yuanzhang:"......"
Son, what my father wants to say is, give us some time, this salt-making technique was invented by him, Zhu Yuanzhang!
However, he felt depressed. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very surprised by this result and felt a little unwilling to accept it, he, the father, really had the nerve to compete with his son for the credit?
Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince Zhu Biao has said that he will be rewarded. How can he, the father-in-law, pretend to know nothing?
But the crux of the matter is, what should I reward Lao Jiu for?
He had already issued an order to hand over all of Xi'an to him. It is estimated that the imperial envoys delivering the order will arrive at Hanzhong Mansion in the next two days!
One vassal king was in charge of two fiefdoms, and Lao Jiu Zhu Yue was the only one in the Ming Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, this can be regarded as the affirmation of his son, Zhu Yuanzhang!
This is a great honor!
How can he reward him like this?
Or simply withdraw the second son's clan order and hand it over directly to the ninth son?
Will Lao Jiu be in charge of clan affairs in the future?
"The Crown Princess has arrived, and the Emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen has arrived!"
At this moment, a eunuch's loud shout suddenly came from outside the door.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao's face suddenly changed!
Who is he most afraid of seeing now?
Apart from the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital. Besides, it's the Lu family and their son!
They seem to be in cahoots with the imperial doctors and Zhu Yuanzhang, and they won't stop until they supervise themselves to drink ten or eight bowls of tonic every day! Yue wrote that he wanted to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang about business, so he left Lu and the others and ran away.
Unexpectedly, the mother and son turned around and came after him!
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the bowl of soup in Lu's hand, he immediately understood what to do. That's it.
He took the chicken feathers as an orderly arrow.
It was his order to supervise the prince's drinking of medicine every day.
Generally speaking, the only people who could enter and leave the imperial study at will were Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince Zhu Biao. Others had to. It must be approved by Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Biao!
If Lu came in directly, it must be under the guise of giving medicine to His Royal Highness!
Prince Zhu Biao just came to the imperial study, and people outside must have seen it! Once this happened, it was no longer easy for the people below to stop him!
Zhu Yuanzhang was clear about Lu's little thoughts!...................Dividing line..................... ps: [Add an update] Keep your word, vote for 200 flowers and get an additional chapter directly, and three monthly votes will add a chapter, no ambiguity!!!
